How was Lord Kartikeya born?

 Lord Kartikeya,also known as Murugan,Skanda,and Subramanya,was born from the divine sparks of Shiva and Parvati according to Hindu mythology. The gods were troubled by the demon Tarakasura, who could only be killed by the son of lord Shiva.To facilitate the birth of a son,the gods sought the help of Kamadeva,the god of love.Lord Kamadeva's arrow awakened Shiva's desire for Maa Parvati, resulting in the birth of lord Kartikeya.The spark was carried by Lord Agni and deposited into the Ganges River,then transported to the Saravana forest where it took the form of six babies nurtured by the Krittikas.

Maa Parvati embraced the babies,who merged into a single child with six faces,Lord Kartikeya.He grew up to be a powerful warrior and led the gods in battle against Tarakasura,defeating the demon and restoring peace.
